Tired Of Being Johnny B. Good Songtext / Lyric

I don't like instant ice tea

And I aint crazy about dollar a gallon self service gasoline

And they nearly broke me with the high price of beef

And the funny thing is they think their putting this over on me



I've always been an upstanding citizen

But I am getting fed up now my friends

And if you don't understand what I've said

I'm tired of being Johnny B Good and I'm

Gonna be Johnny Reb



Yeah I'm gonna be Johnny Reb

'Cause I don't believe everything I've seen and read

And I work like hell just to keep a roof and a bed

I'm tired of being Johnny B Good and I'm

Gonna be Johnny Reb






This country's gettin' in a kinda bad shape

When the gasoline profits are up, up and away

And I can barely live on my take home pay

There's a whole lot of people that agree to what I say

Don't tell me to ride a bus and turn down my thermostat

When yer all runnin' around in jets and cadillacs



Well I can't take this lying down

We gotta try and fight back 'till they believe what we said

We're tired of being Johnny B Good and we

Gotta be Johnny Rebs



Yeah we gonna be Johnny Rebs

'Cause we don't believe everything we've seen and read

And we work like hell just to keep a roof and a bed

We're tired of being Johnny B Good and we

Gotta be Johnny Rebs



We're Tired of being Johnny B Good and we

Gotta be Johnny Rebs
